I got an espresso machine for Christmas. Love the machine but I only had an old grinder, noisy and a pain to get the right grind. My grandson told me about this grinder so I looked into it. Had to wait a bit for the (V4). Really glad I did! This grinder is awesome, and does a great job with my espresso shots. Its a lot quieter than I thought it would be too. Well worth the wait and I highly recommend the DF54 (V4)!

I'm in love with this grinder! I ordered the unit with the Red Titanium burrs, the 54mm dosing cup and the black, metal dial indicator. I find the unit is relatively quiet (for a grinder). It has not produced much static at all (as I think previous generations might have). The metal dial indicator is quality (not plastic/3d printed) and I like the fact that I now have a true zero point. The dosing cup is also a high quality, sturdy chuck of metal with lid.

Something to note. I have a white, quartz countertop and the black, flat cushioned feet rubbed off on the countertop and took some elbow grease to remove. I solved this by ordering some 5/8" Clear Self-Adhesive Polyurethane Bumper Pads from Amazon that fit PERFECTLY into the indentation used for the exiting pads.

There is also a 3/D printed accessory (sold on Etsy) that lets you grind directly into a 54mm portafilter, which just saves you from having to transfer grounds from the dosing cup to the portafilter.

Overall - extremely pleased with the purchase and with the DF Grinder accessories. Shipping was also fast for me.

Nice grinder, I’m liking the single dose grinder. It’s very clean, no grounds all over my counter. So far no retention. Seems to work well with medium roast espresso beans.

First time I tried to use it, it clogged and only about 1/4 of the beans came through. I have it in pieces now trying to clean it to see if that works.

So quiet that my wife didn’t know she had to turn it off and ran it for 4hrs straight. It got a little warm but still working great

This grinder works amazingly well! First burr grinder and the improvement in the quality of the coffee is shocking. The bellows is fun and useful.

It meets all the expectations I had after watching reviews on YouTube: uniform grind, no retention, great appearance, compact enough for my kitchen, and stylish. I am satisfied with the service from DF Grinders.

I've had a terrible experience with this grinder. From the start, it came out smelling like strong glue because the glue was still wet from the lid. Then even when it was at 0 my beans came out too coarse. Then, it got clogged and I couldn't unscrew the part where the beans come out. I tried to unscrew the screws under the lid but they are glued shut...I've only had this grinder a week. I want to return it.

So far so good.. solid build and works great. Retention is really near zero. Highly recommended.

Its a big improvement from the internal grinder in the Breville Barista Express.

Je l’utilise comme moulin pour mon decaf et je suis pas déçu. Semble vraiment solide. Pas de problème de statique pour le moment

Im absolutely amazed at the quality of my new DF grinder, this is an amazing part of my espresso setup and does the job well. Fast efficient grinding and not too noisy.
Build quality is stellar, it’s a bit heavy but just enough to let you know this is a well made product. I’ve had this for a week now and pulled so many great shots thanks to its grinding consistency. I’ve had no issues with this machine after a week, every part and function has delivered (no issues with bellow falling off, grinds never spill out, always consistent grind size)

If you’re a newbie getting into making your own espresso, or even a seasoned veteran, this machine will get the job done.

I can’t believe I held off on this purchase for so long. Such an upgrade from my ceramic hand grinder. I love the adjustable dial and how quiet it is. I can also easily grind 30g at a time no problem, despite what it says in the specs. She’s perfect and I love her <3

Great price hopefully never have to return it for warranty work.

Paired this grinder with my Breville Bambino a month ago. Very happy with the machine. Dial makes adjusting grind size very easy. Grind is consistent and fluffy. No issues with static. Would recommend!

I have had many grinders. This none is excellent for the price. Amazing build quality in such a small package. And the shots taste amazing.

Iv had a lot of grinders. Just got this to test it out. It’s such a small compact size but really a great grinder. Great build quality, super low retention, and the shots taste great.

I know it’s listed as a single dose grinder but I have no problem grinding enough beans for a 7 cup pot as fast as I can pour ‘em in it. Consistent grind quality, day after day. I’m really glad I decided to get this one.

The grinder itself is great, as you’ve probably already heard, but I wanted to highlight a very positive customer service experience I’ve had with this retailer. Super responsive! If you know you want this grinder but not sure who to buy but from, I’d strongly recommend DFGrinders.

I read a lot of reviews and watched many videos trying to find a grinder for my recent Bambino purchase. New to making an espresso I was so frustrated but learned my grinder was not meant to grind fine enough for a quality espresso. I almost purchased the Breville Smart Pro grinder thinking it would line up well with the same brand name. Reviews were describing issues with not grinding fine enough and having to adjust the burrs manually to grind finer. For almost the same price the DF54 V4.1 allowed adjustments without messing with the burrs manually. Since fresh beans degas each adjustment is a breeze to continually dial in a quality espresso. I did need to get DWT tool at 0.23mm, puck screen and a different tamper with a Timemore scale to keep perfecting the espresso. My last piece to replace is the portafilter that came with the Bambino. A bottomless portafilter will allow me to perfect the espresso without the annoying drip from the plastic inside the boxed product portafilter. Of course this is manually stopping the Bambino since water output is too much. The details provided are additional tips that help perfect a quality espresso. A must is fresh beans meant for espresso. I firmly stand by purchasing the correct grinder and a good espresso machine. Both are the smoking gun to be on your way for your cafe espresso. Again being new to this process I was told by two guests who tasted my almond honey iced latte that the lattes were cafe quality. Another response was this is so good. The grinder has been in my possession for a little over two weeks and I was pleasantly surprised at their response since I am far from a experienced Barista. The grinder is quiet and I have not had any issues with clogging. Static is minimal so I am not spraying beans with water. To the consumer who wants to dial in their espresso shots the DF54 V4.1 is a quality product for the price. 100% satisfied with this product!

Only had this grinder a week but love it so far. Very quiet and really easy to use with fine settings. I like the bellows to blow the last of the grind out into the receptacle. Good value and well made.
